Give one of your "skip" episodes a second chance every now and then. You might be surprised. (startrek.website)

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" didn't become my new favorite episode or anything, but I did enjoy it after years of skipping it because I got bored with the baseball plot the first time I saw it.

I also always skipped VOY: Initiations and had completely forgotten Aron Eisenberg was in that one until the last re-watch when I opted not to skip any episodes.

Skip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed! I recently watched "The Mark of Gideon" and had absolutely NO memory of it. Yay new trek!

Also you're the second person I saw on here refer to “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” as anything other than great, and while I find that surprising I am glad to hear you're on board!

They absolutely do! I was thinking that earlier. They become like your own personal "lost episodes".

Counterpoint: Shades of Gray

Fair (counter) point. That was basically a clip show which are fair game for skips especially with home media / streaming.

I don't think there's a skip episode in the entire run from TNG and DS9, they're all great compared to any contemporary TV. Voyager and Enterprise on the other hand, especially Enterprise has some ROUGH ones, though.

VOY has, by far, the most "skip" episodes for me. Other than "Threshold", they're all Chakotay episodes (Tattoo, Nemesis, Initiations, The Fight). Don't get me wrong. I love Chakotay as a character, but Robert Beltran's wooden performance is just hard to watch when the rest of the cast isn't there to offset it.

Maybe it's because it's shorter, but I don't think there are any ENT episodes I skip (not even the finale)

Even Sub Rosa?

I kind of appreciate the way they mix it up with episodes like that, especially not on the holodeck. The holodeck episodes with public domain IP are probably my least favorite TNG episodes but I still can see their charm.

Ehhh Alamaray or whatever, Racist TNG planet of your choice, clip show… There’s loads.

Also I decided to pause my current DS9 rewatch on The Visitor cause my dad ain’t so well and I’m scared I can’t take it. It might be a skip for different reasons.
